Chapter 45: The end
Elijah was estranged from his family, so he was surprised when they decided to meddle in his company. One evening, his grandfather called him to his home, and he went. Sitting in the large living room, his grandfather told him to fire his friend as assistant CEO and let his younger stepbrother be the assistant CEO. Elijah refused immediately, and when his father tried to slap him, Elijah pushed him away and fought off his guards. “What exactly do you mean that I should fire my best friend and let my stepbrother take the position of assistant CEO? The only thing he knows is how to party. What will he do for me?” Elijah asked, trying to understand the reasoning behind all this. “You should listen to your grandfather because he knows what is best for you and your company. You just began owning this company for a few years. We have been in the game longer than you,” Elijah’s father told him angrily. Elijah’s father was not a good father. After marrying his stepmother, he always mistreat

Every morning she woke up with hope, and every night she slept with disappointment.Day by day, her company began to become a shadow of itself. No employees. No receptionist. The security had already left. Her assistant CEO, who made the job easier for her, had also resigned and was now working for Elijah, posting pictures about it online. Each post felt like a knife twisting deeper into her chest.She was at a loss.

They had worked with her, and it had already been two months and she had not paid them.Natasha was dragged to court, which was a case everybo

It was not an easy decision, but desperation pushed her forward.The next day, Natasha went to Elijah's company, hoping that they could have a conversation, because she wanted to see him and see if they could give their relationship one last try. As she walked toward the tall glass building, her hands trembled slightly.When she got to the entrance of his company, the bodyguard stopped her, not allowing her to get into the company because those were Elijah's instructions. He stood firmly in front of her, blocking her path.“I want to see Elijah. If you tell him that I’m here, he would let me see him,” Natasha told the security guard, and they exchanged glances.

Elijah, who was sitting close to Olivia Blake, ended the call on Natasha, sliding his phone onto the table and letting out a breath."Oh yeah, who were you talking to?" Olivia asked, raising her brow slightly. Even though she had a clue who it was, she wanted to hear it from him directly."I was talking to Natasha. She told Elijah she needed money to help her company," Elijah informed Olivia since there was nothing to hide. "I thought she took a loan from the bank?" Olivia narrowed her eyes, trying to piece it together.Olivia was there when Natasha came to the bank to take the loan ,so she wondered if Natasha was using this to get closer to Elijah."Someone in her financial department took the loan and ran," Elijah replied calmly, picking up a slice of pizza and began eating it."Oh, that’s bad. But why are you invested in her business? Do you still have feelings for her?" Olivia Blake asked, and Elijah turned to her sharply, his expression serious, as he swallowed the pizza he was
